AIR TASK FORCE OF OPERATION LAFIYA DOLE DESTROYS BOKO HARAM TERRORISTS’ CAMP, NEUTRALIZES SCORES OF FIGHTERS IN MASSIVE AIR STRIKES AT NGWURI GANA IN BORNO STATE
In continuation of the sustained offensive against terrorist elements in the North-East of the Country, the Air Task Force of Operation LAFIYA DOLE has destroyed a Boko Haram Terrorists’ Camp and neutralized several of their fighters in massive air strikes executed at Ngwuri Gana along the Gulumba Gana - Kumshe axis in the Northern part of Borno State.
The operation was carried out on the heels of Human Intelligence reports indicating that the settlement was one of the locations from where the Terrorists launch attacks against own troops’ positions and villages around the general area of Kumshe.
Coordinator, defence Media Operations, john Enenche said in a statement thatb Aerial surveillance missions also confirmed the heavy presence of a large number of the Terrorists in the settlement, some of whom were seen slinging their rifles.
Enenche confirmed that the Air Task Force therefore launched coordinated attacks on the various targets within the settlement, employing an enhanced force package of Nigerian Air Force (NAF) fighter jets and helicopter gunships.
The attack aircraft he said, took turns in engaging the designated locations within the settlement, scoring devastating hits which led to the destruction of several structures, including the Communication Centres, as well as the neutralization of several terrorists.
The coordinator said the military hierarchy commended the Air Task Force for their dedication, dexterity and professionalism urging them to intensify the air offensive against the terrorists and all other criminal elements threatening the peace and security of the country.
